CASTLEGAR NEWS, March 18, 1983 ‘The Tent Peg’ is one of library's new books The following books are some of the title recontly received by the Castlegar Li- brary. . ' Aritha Van Herk's name is back in the news, She achieved international fame in 1978 when her first novel ‘Judity' won the Seal Books First Novel Award of $50,000, Her second novel, “The Tent Peg’ is, to quote the author, a ‘northern tall tale’ which could be mis- construed as a faminist fab le but is intended to be only good entertainment. "Its the story of a girl on the run from her empty heart. who feels that the silence of the Far North will bring peace of mind and the soli- tude she craves, She dis- guises herself as a man in order to obtain a job as a cook in a uranium prospecting camp in the Yukon moun- tains. Solitude eludes her as the men in the campoutcasts, drifters, romantics — begin to seek her out and unload their own psychological bur- dens on her. * 8 perate Slege, the Bat- tle of Hong Kong’ by Ted Ferguson is a powerful tale of Human courage in the face of impossible odds. Based on in- terviews with survivors of the battle and the POW cages, it brings vividly alive the tensions and horrors of December 1941 when Hong Kong crumbled under the massive onslaught of crack Japanese invasion troups. il equipped, the Winnipeg Grenadiers and the Royal Rifles of Canada and four other Commonwealth units fought gallantly for 18 days before being marched off to Spend four and a half years in Japanese prison camps. heir endurance and sacrifice become all the more tragic when one realizes they were Sonsidered expendable by the Supreme Command. ee Honnte Pruden’s book ‘ Erasure’ has also had a lot of publicity lately. Recognizing that 95 per cent of all chronic pain is muscular in origin, :Bonnie Pruden has developed a revolutionary technique of pain relief called myother- apy. With the help of numerous diagrams and photographs she teaches one to recognize the trigger points which cause muscles to go’ into spasm and then she shows how to apply pressure to relieve the pain. Unlike the accupuncture points used in other forms of pressure therapy, the trigger points in myotherapy are dif- ferent for each person, re fated to falls in childhood, poor posture, sports injuries, etc. “ * ‘Caring and Cooking for the Allergic Child’ by Linda Thomas should be a boon to anyone trying to adapt family recipes to an allergy-limited diet. It contains practical in- formation concerning satis: factory food substitutes and valuable tips related to travel, school situations, etc, The allergic child will also be grateful as the recipes in- clude a fine selection of des- serts. P * 8, # While we seem to be in the medical section, we've added another useful book to a wide range dealing with heart problems, ‘Recovering from the heart attack experience’ by Dr.-Elizabeth Weiss ex- plores the emotional feelings and physical problems of the person recovering from a heart attack. She gives straight answers to the ques- tions most often asked by the sufferers and their families ~ about their sex lives, eating habits, exercise, job stress, recurrence of attacks — and provides reassurance and sound medical advice to the patients and those close to them. * « « Here's a wonderful read for aviation buffs. ‘The inter-" national encyclopedia of avi- ation,’ editec by David Mon- dey, is one of the most am- bitious, comprehensive books on aviation ever published. It combines reference data, his- tory of the old planes and famous aviators and fore- easts of future rocketry, space shuttles and space fac- tories, in one huge volume, illustrated with hundreds of color photographs and techni- cal drawings. “8 «8 “Top cecret Ultra’ by Peter Calvocoressi is the inside account of how the British Intelligence monitored and broke the Nazi top-secret codes during the last war. Peter Calvocoressi was the head of intelligence at Blet- chly Park, a small estate north of London and the site of one of" thé’ closest-held secrets of the war. The steady monitoring of German radio transmissions was made possible by the breaking of the German Enigma machine cyphers, This major scientific feat was accomplished by a team of schoolmasters, university professors, chess players, museum curators and mathe- maticians, who devoted years to the task of wresting the secrets from the Enigma and then piecing the jumbled let- ters into usable military data. For those who like a touch glamor, Gloria Swanson’s autobiography ‘Swanson on Swanson’ should give a taste of what life was like in Hollywood’s golden era. Ms. Swanson starred in dozens of world famous films and also managed to make it in the movie production business, One of the early feminists, she proved as tough as any of the movie producers of her day. She lived in ‘a sea of champagne,’ surrounded by people like Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Rudolph Val- entino, Douglas Fairbanks, but she never forgot there were sharks among the bud- bles, Without leaving much out, she tells of her long secret love affair with Joseph Kennedy and her first two disastrous marriages. At the age of 81, she's still very beautiful and stil! active —.as a fashion’ designer, an artlst and now a writer. * ‘If I had to do it all over again, I'd want to be in the same shoes at the same time.’ So says Ivan Ackery in his show business memoir ‘Filty years on theatre row.’ He was manager of one of Can- ada’s most opulent and his- toric theatres, The Orpheum* in Vancouver. For 50 years he was the corner stone of the North American enter- tainment industry. He counted Louis Arm- strong, Gary Cooper and many other stars as his friends. His greatest strength lay in his promo- tional ideas and publicity stunts which breught crowds flocking to the Orpheum dur- ing “the Depression years when few theatres could find an audience. 8 ‘The romance and glory of the Venetian Empire is re- called for us by Jan Morris in her new book ‘The Venetian Empire, a sea voyage!’ Ven- ice ruled the seas for six centuries, expanding her dominion by naval battles, epic seiges and alliances by force or by marriage, and claiming as her- own the beauties of Crete, Cyprus, the Grecian Coast and the coastal cities of Yuguslavia. Jan Morris evokes all the glitter and rich pageantry of the powerful marine empire in this vivid historical jour- ney through the Mediterran- ean, : @ To his latest novel, Can- ada’s famous humorist Max Braithwaite is still on the theme of the middle-aged man musing with regret on lost opportunities and missed pleasures. ‘McGruber's folly’ takes us on a poignant and hilarious escapade with his delightfully wicked hero, Ranse McGruber, a retired detective with everything a man could want — a happy family and a pleasant home. Nevertheless, McGruber starts to dream of palm trees and surf, fast cars and eager young women and he sud- denly realises that his dream can become reality if only he can pull off the ‘perfect crime.’ 1 978: Chrysler's front wheel drive Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon named Motor Trend's “Car of the Year” Chrysler does it again.
